Abstract

The statistical scaling properties of a self-similar adverse pressure gradient (APG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) are presented. The intended flow is generated using the direct numerical simulation (DNS) TBL code of Simens et al (2009) and Borrell et al. (2013), with a modified farfield boundary condition (BC). The conditions for self-similarity and appropriate scaling are derived, with mean and Reynolds stress profiles presented using this scaling. The APG and ZPG DNS are also compared under the classical viscous scaling.
